Bring It On

Synopsis: The Toro cheerleading squad from Rancho Carne High School in San Diego has got spirit, spunk, sass and a killer routine that's sure to land them the national championship trophy for the sixth year in a row. But for newly-elected team captain Torrance, the Toros' road to total cheer glory takes a shady turn when she discovers that their perfectly-choreographed routines were in fact stolen from the Clovers, a hip-hop squad from East Compton, by the Toro's former captain. While the Toros scramble to come up with a new routine, the Clovers, led by squad captain Isis have their own problems - coming up with enough money to cover their travel expenses to the championships. With time running out and the pressure mounting, both captains drive their squads to the point of exhaustion: Torrance, hell bent on saving the Toros' reputation, and Isis more determined than ever to see that the Clovers finally get the recognition that they deserve. But only one team can bring home the title, so may the

[ Horn Beeping ]

[ Stereo:
Rock ]

Mr. and Mrs. "S."

Oh, look, it's Aaron.

- So are you excited?

- Oh, yeah !

It's college, Tor.

I'm really stoked,

you know ?

Its just, you know,

I'm gonna miss you.

Really ?

Yeah.

But next year, it'll be

you and me reunited at

Cal State Dominguez Hills.

I'll be the experienced

sophomore, you'll be

the hot, new freshman.

Yup. Itll be

I really gotta beat traffic.

I can't be late

for orientation. Hey.

But I really want--

Hey. Trust me.

You're gonna get it.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

[School Bell Ringing]

Did you vote ?

Oh, yeah.

Darcy thinks she should

get captain 'cause her dad

pays for everything.

He should use

some of that money

to buy her a clue.

Courtney'll get captain.

The guys love

clutching her butt.

She's got a lot to hang on to.

What's plural for "butt" ?

On one person, I mean.

She puts the "ass"

in "massive."

You put the "lude"

in "deluded."

Yo !

Can I have

all your votes ?

Mine.

Here's me.

Thank you.

We should get Big Red a gift,

or at least someone

should say something.

Pass.

Good riddance.

I don't believe in

osmosis.

It's not brown-nosing.

She's the departing captain.

She did a lot for this squad.

Oh, come on.

Both of you sucked before

she whipped you into shape.

Oh, whipped ?

Is that what that was ?

No one will miss Big Red, Tor.

She puts the "itch" in "b*tch."

Sheputs the "whore"

in "horrifying. "

You know,

it's her last practice.

How would you feel ?

Big Red

has no feelings.

Just testicles.

You guys are all

great athletes.

Thanks in large part to me.

And I know that

your new captain will

keep the tradition alive,

leading you to the record

sixth national...

cheerleading championship

you know is yours.

So, let's meet

your new leader,

- Torrance Shipman.

- [ Screaming ]

Oh, my God !

[ Applause ]

Oh, Les !

Oh, my God !

- That slut.

- [Torrance] Listen up !

Id like to try a wolf wall.

Oh, excellent !

Torrance has got

the fever, people.

What's a wolf's wall ?

Only the hardest pyramid

known to cheerleading

and mankind.

The words

"big" and "britches"

come to mind.

She's crazy.

She'll kill us all.

Hello ! Some of us have

not spent the entire

summer working out.

Right, Carver ?

Come on, guys !

Let's be different for once.

We cant just rest

on our laurels.

Why does everybody say that ?

Maybe a laurel's

a good place to rest.

Come on, man.

You guys suck.

Let's do this.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight--

[ Screaming ]

Five, six, seven, eight.

Kick one--

[ Screaming ]

Five, six, seven, eight.

And one ! Stick it !

Come on, girls !

Stick it for me !

Five, six, seven, eight.

Go one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Kick one !

- Good job ! Who !

- Pinch some panties.

Someone's slackin'.

Do I look like a milkmaid,

'cause somebody feels

like a cow !

- Carver, can you cradle out ?

- You bet I can.

Okay, ready ?

One, two, down, up !

- [ Screams ]

- Carver!

[Thud]

Carver ?

Are you okay ?

I'm fine, really.

Don't you guys

worry about me.

Its just a scratch.

I'll be back to practice

tomorrow,

so don't you guys fret,

okay ?

And I don't want you

to worry at all,

because I'm a quick healer.

I promise, you guys.

I'm gonna be there

for you.

[Muffled]

You hear me ?

Guys ? Bye !

[Siren Blaring]

[ Video Game Beeping]

I got captain.

Yeah, and you sent

a girl to the hospital

on your first day.

- Aye, aye, Captain !

- You were listening

on the phone ? Mom !

It's true. She really should

get her own private line,

you know.

She's growing up so fast.

Justin, go away.

At ease, Captain.

Well, this blistering

academic schedule

shouldn't get in your way.

You should be happy about that.

Why can't you

accept the fact

that I'm not a genius ?

It just kills you that

I'm not an honor student.

No. It kills me that you

barely make time to study.

If you studied

half as much as you cheer,

youd be in great shape.

Your priorities are--

No ! Those are

your priorities !

Mine are just fine.

Look,

I'm just saying that

college might be

less of a shock...

if you take an extra lab

or language course

or something.

- What do you think ?

- Will Advanced Chem

get you off my back ?

Not completely,

but it'll help.

Done.

You know, mothers have killed

to get their daughters

on squads.

That mother

didn't kill anyone.

She hired a hit man.

[Punk]

Everyone, we have

a new student...

transferring from

Mission Hills High School

in Los Angeles.

Please welcome

Cliff "Pant One."

Pantone.

- [Students Laughing]

- Thanks.

[ Sneezes ]

Loser !

[ Sneezes ]

Loser !

Wait, wait, wait.

Was that, uh--

Was that the loser sneeze

I just heard right there ?

Guys, come on.

I mean, what is that,
